Researchers say that more than 7% of the world’s population suffers from depression. Today, it’s one of the most powerful tools in the devil’s arsenal to steal the joy of salvation from God’s children.

Our Lord Jesus does not want us to be depressed; He wants us to enjoy life, knowing that there is a land beyond the river, where He will wipe away all the tears of this journey. That is His promise to us. Our enemy, Satan, tries to tell us differently, but Christ always comes through for those who believe.

The following is from a sister in the United Kingdom, who was suffering from depression.

I wish to share this testimony of being recently delivered from depression. I live in the UK with my husband, and I am a stay-at-home wife.

Over the winter I began feeling depressed. I soon became unable to sleep and began to lose my hair. Prayer was made for me to the Lord Jesus, and I began reading the Bible and listening to sermons. The Lord Jesus came through for me.

I dreamt that a man robed in white appeared to me while I was crying. I was asking how long I would suffer this pain and what would I do, seeing as I could not manage my thoughts. The man told me not to worry, that things are returning to normal. I will be alright. The next night I had another dream. In this one there was a bearded person in a full white robe healing my head. I believe and now testify that the Lord Jesus Christ has healed me of my depression, and I want to give Him the glory, honor and praise. To our God be the glory.
